Product Description
The Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the most important books on education ever written. Carter G. Woodson shows us the weakness of Euro-centric based curriculums that fail to include African American history and culture. This system mis-educates the African American student, failing to prepare them for success and to give them an adequate sense of who they are within the system that they must live. Woodson provides many strong solutions to the problems he identifies. A must-read for anyone working in the education field.

• The Mis-education Of The Negro 25 March, 2008
This is a wonderful book. I read it many years ago as a young person. And after becoming an adult I purchased it and read it again. My son read it when he was younger and he still keeps a copy at his home.
His son is reading it now. This is a book that everyone should read. It's a great read for blacks, because it's about blacks. However, this book is enlightening for anyone who dares to pick it up.
Great read!

• Required Reading For All Students, Teachers, Administrators Or Parents. 20 September, 2008
This is the first text to my knowledge that covers the process of curriculum development. It focuses on the student, which is crucial in any good curriculum. Of course, its focus is also on the neglect of the Afrikan student born in or studying in America, which is still generally overlooked.
A must read for anyone interested in education.

• Was A Great And Very Realistic Perception Of Society 20 October, 2008
Although the book was written in a time people would consider completely different compared to now this book still holds strong points that apply to the way things are. I feel like the book reopened my eyes to a lot of the things I already knew and was said in a way that was raw and uncut. We are a very powerful people, and that holds no weight when the power isn't used properly. This is a must read and far from outdated materiel.
